CIBSE KS17 Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation provides an accessible summary of assembled information taken from CIBSE publications and other standards. The Zero Carbon Hub 2013 report Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery in new homes includes useful, well researched MVHR good practice in section 4. And the soon-to-be-published update to CIBSE TM40 Health and wellbeing in building services will provide current thinking on the requirements for safe and healthy internal environments.
